Looking for SACD player............

When things are fully broken-in, replace the stock fuses with SR Black 800ma small fuses which is like changing cables...

Wig,

Thanks for joining in. I did install black fuses about 6 months ago and the results are wonderful. I also have SR fuses in my pre and power amps.

I recently purchased a SR black A/C receptacle, and it is my intention to install it after the Sony player is fully broken in. Since the black receptacle is said to use the same technology as the black fuse, I am very optimistic about its potential benefits. 

@nyame Congrats. on the receipt of your modified player.  I am anxious to read about what you hear as differences pre to post mod.  You are more patient than I.  I would put a CD in the tray and play on repeat around the clock so within a week or so I could hear the fully run-in player.

Is there any experience or comparison with the Arcam DV137 or DV139?

Have you tried the Oppo BDP-105D?  It ought to cost WAY more than it does.  A phenomenal SACD player, the balanced outputs sound wonderful.  Having a hard time finding anything better under $10k.  That player is amazing.
